Emma it doesnt make a blind bit of difference what colour someones skin is. If I was in trouble, I couldn,t give a monkeys backside what colour skin the police officer has. Why is skin colour always such an issue with you? We are all the same underneath.
Of course it matters, people feel better in the company of those more like themselves. We are not all the same underneath. Tests between blacks and whites have shown many differences of the years.
For example, Sickle Cell Disorder (SCD) is the name given to several genetic (ie inherited) blood conditions that affect mainly people from Africa, the Caribbean,
Asia, the Mediterranean and Saudi Arabia. SCD results from a defective production of haemoglobin, a substance in the red blood cells which gives blood its colour and carries oxygen around the body.
In people with SCD, the abnormal haemoglobin changes the round blood cell to a “sickle” or half moon shape when it gives up its oxygen, and this causes blockage of blood flow. This leads to a variety of complications including anaemia, severe episodes of pain (“crisis”), organ damage and infections.
People with SCD are born with the condition. It is not contagious and it can only be inherited from both parents.
For Facking Hells Sake!!! Are you for real? :lol:
